The New York Meeting.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-TO-night's pa
rade of socialists, intended as protest
against the hanging of the Chicago an
archists, was peaceable affair. About
5000 men turned out. Two hundred
policemen accompanied the procession.
A force of policemen have been placed
around the city hall to guard the build
ing during the night. This is said to
be precautionary measure due to a
threat by the anarchists that if Gov.
Oglesbv did not commute the sentences
of the Chicago anarchists the New York
city hall would be blown up tonight.

To me the most prominent character
istic of nearly all men of advanced years
is their extreme courtesy and gentleness.
At the entrance of the Hoffman house
one day group of young collegians
stood roaring over the recollections of a
game of football that had Just been
played at the Polo grounds. A man of
advanced years, with his head bent
slightly forward, and his hands resting
idly in the pockets of his loose sack coat,
strolled along, and bowling with an amia-
BILE smile to the men who blocked the
way, sought to enter the hotel. One or
two of the collegians stared at him and
then turned their heads away. He stood
there quietly for a moment, and then
raising his hat said:
Gentlemen, will you permit me to
passl'
No one answered for an instant, and
then the voice of lusty quarter back
player from Princeton was heard from
the rear:
Jimmy" he yelled, authoritatively
"step out of the way and give that old
man chance to get in, won't your"
Jimmy did as he was bid, and Mr..
James Anthony Froude, with his hand
still to his hat bowed and quietly passed
by the group of noisy young men,

Dom Pedro III. the reigning emperor,
has passed the anniversary which Victoria
of England has Just celebrated. He
technically took the throne in 1885, upon
the abdication of his father, the son of
John VI. of Portugal. The second Bra
ganza has done much to endear himself
to the people and to commend his admin
istration to the favor of the civilized
world. Upon the question of slavery
his attitude has been one of the utmost
discretion. liberality and good statesman
ship. Though an emperor with large
personal powers, he has permitted him
self to be hemmed about with consider
able constitutional restrictions. His EN-
pire is practically and wisely ruled by a
senate, whose members hold for life, and
a chamber of delegates. elected every
four years. Upon the converting of the
latter body last month bill was intro
duced providing practically for the liber-
alton of every one of the 1000, 900 negro
slaves in the empire.
The way was already paved for such
an innovation. In 1871 a law was
passed requiring the liberation of all
slaves not registered by their masters by
certain date. The slaves at that time
numbered 1000. 600, but under the OPP
Grafton of the law up to the present year
S00,0 900 have been freed. The new
measure contemplates the liberation OF
those who remain in servitllde within the
next two years. In effect it declares all
slaves free forthwith, though imposing
certain conditions which amount to de-
lay of two years. Thus all freedmen
will be required to remain two years with
their present masters upon just salary
From this condition are exempted slaves
over fifty years of age, others who arc
able to purchase their instant freedom
and also those who meanwhile inter.
marry with freedmen or women.-Chi.

The customs and manners of the Penn
sylvania Dutch may he best and most
briefly described as the never ending ac-
tual expression of honesty and good will
to all men. This in itself means rugged
simplicity, which we of a more refined
and less scrupulous motive condescend-
ingly esteem as "queerness" and quaint
ness" Integrity, which logically com
pels plainness; industry, which never fails
of reward; simplicity of thought and
habit, which prolongs life; generosity,
which returns the noblest cheer; purity,
which yields positive physical and mental
benedictions, blended in good and con-
tented whole, make the motive, means
and ultimate of the lives of these people.
Unceasing and sure their labor, certain
and constant its reward, and they seem
among the only men of earth absolutely
born without love of, and with perennial
contempt for, pomp and show. They
live honest lives, clothe the naked, feed
the hungry and succor the unfortunate
for the simple sake of right doing.
Along these lines it is thus not strange
that their plainness of dress is natural,
and all apparent eccentricities of this
sort are true, rather than untrue, to
right living. Equally the seemingly
strange custom to us of seldom, if ever,
resorting to law, and even refusing to
defend unjust legal attack, is logical
ethical correctness of life as taught by
the Perfect One. The bond and mort.
gage are almost unknown among them,
for these have no place among mer
whose very lives are staked on theii
simple word. And they had best be; 70,
while one neighbor can ask and get Of
another any sum of money into the thou
sands at any time, to be returned, almost
invariably without interest, at any date

borrower is forever in disgrace among

quence of an integrity which must b,

To Insure Our Lives.

Everything should be done to prevent
repetition of the past. Theatres should
be carefully inspected and whatever de-
fects are discovered should be remedied
The proper city authorities should make
at stated intervals rigid examination in
order to assure the public that it has
nothing to fear. That is the point on
which we have the right to insist. If
there is danger anywhere the people have
right to know it. That is the shortest
and surest way to get rid of it. And if
there is no danger the examination should
still be made in order that the fears of
the people may be set at rest. One thing
is certain-all places where the people
are wont to assemble in large numbers
should be safe. This is a consummation
devoutly to be wished, and consumma-
ton which should be attained at the
earliest possible moment. York

Listen Again that bubbling sound Of laughter,
The laughter Of the children at their play;
Mayhap. in some long dreamed of. dim hereafter
/, too, will be as hopeful and as gay.
The laughter in the sound of running waters,
The laughter of the ripples by the sea,
The laughter of the sunshine on the ripples,
But not the touch of laughter moving me.
My smiles were garnered in the yesterdays,
My hopes-frail blossoms-cluster in ''to-mor.
row."
am singer, and bear today,
Up stony heights, the singers cross of sorrow
The laughter of the brook along the pebbles,
The laughter of the dimpled, smiling sea-
The laughter of the children growing fainter,
But not the boon of laughter reaching me.

A Grave Question.

Of grave question, which every
Benedict must be called ON to face in
some form, the Buffalo Courier says.
"There's a young man up Orwell, nc
matter what street-but on a street
in Buffalo, who is about to enter into
the b. b. of m. in a month or 80. The
question that torments him now is
whether to give his wife a stated al
lowance OF money, give it to her in
''hunks," or let her ask for it when
she wants it. He's rather diffident
about talking it over with hiAbetroth
ed. ''rhe diggins OF it u.s." as he says
that the allowance will have to bt
small, if it's that way. He has tried
to pump the married women of his &C
qualntance and most of them incline
to the allowance system. It will be
rather hard to arrange the matter
equally unless his wife runs the house
keeping, bills and all, in which case
some women would say, and perhaps
justly, that he should turn over his
whole salary to her, and ask her 70,
cigar and other spending money when
he needs it. But that's rather hard
on the man."

Brussels Lace.

Frank R. Stockton in St. Nicholas
Brussels lace is celebrated all over
the world, and we must not fail to
visit the places where this beautiful
and costly lace is made. Here we see a
number of women. very quiet, very
neatly dressed, and in some cases with
wonderfully delicate and soft.looklng
hands, although they are all plain
working women. Each is busy lash.
ioning the DELEGATE pattern of piece
OF lace, and it is said that each wom-
an has a pattern her own, which
she always makes, and which, per-
haps, descended to her from her moth
er and grandmother.
Some of the women are working on
cushions, with pins and bobbins. and
some are using needles and the finest
and most delicate of thread. We are
told that this thread is all made by
hand, and it is so delicate that it has
to be spun In damp cellars, because in
the dry upper air it would break before
it is finished. There are old women
in Brussels who have spent nearly all
their lives spinning in cellars.

Reality in DreamIand.
From tho Oakland, (Cal.) Tribune.

FROM the Oakland, (Cal.) Tribune.
Twenty years ago bachelor in
Oakland dreamed OF visiting a family
consisting OF parents and two little
girls, who were unknown to him in his
waking hours.
From that time forth he continued
to dream Of them for a score of years.
He saw the children grow from child
hood to womanhood. He was present
at the closing exercises when they
graduated. In fact, he shared all the
pleasures and griefs OF this family.
his friendship to his dreamland
friends seemed so real that he often
remarked that he felt certain he would
know them in reality at some future
time.
Two months ago he saw in a dream
the husband die, and from that time
ne ceased to dream of them for the
first time in e period of twenty years.
About six weeks ago he was aston
1shed at receiving a letter from New
York city, the writer being the widow
OF cousin of his, with whom he had
never had any intercourse since his
Doynood, over thirty years. The Wild
ow wrote that she wished to make San
Francisco her future home. After ex-
changing few letters it was arranged
for him to meet her and the two
daughters at the Oakland wharf upon
the arrival OF an Eastern train on q
certain day. On their arrival imagine
his surprise to see his dream friends.
They were equally so when he related
his strange series OF dreams in which
they figured. He told them incidents
connected with their past lives which
he could not have known under Ordi-
nary circumstances. He described their
former home, even to the furniture
and household ornaments, which was
correct in every particular. The Sc.
quel is that he recently married the
widow, and is living happily in this
city.
